A small bridle is called a bridle.
Bridle is a concept that is used in the world of horse riding and horses in general. The term has several meanings: it can refer, for example , to the rider who rides using the bridle or to the small-sized bridle.
A bridle is made up of a series of straps that are placed around the horse's head to dominate it. The bridle has as components the bits (the element that is introduced into the animal's mouth ) and the bridle (the straps that adapt to its head and hold the bit) which, together with the reins , provide control.
As a small bridle, the bridle is used especially with foals , to gradually get them accustomed to the bridle and to teach them to turn their head .
Damage to the horse
The bit is one of the most delicate accessories, not precisely because of its constitution but because of the damage it can cause to the horse: if it is too rigid or does not fit sufficiently, it can cause discomfort, pain or even injuries of varying severity. It is important, therefore, to choose the right one so that communication with the animal is effective without hurting it.
Inexperienced riders should always consult with someone before choosing a bit to avoid any of the consequences just mentioned; If you don't have this possibility, then you can check the list of bits that are prohibited in most competitions, since usually the reason is that they are not good for the horses because they cause a lot of pain .
A horse that behaves with brio can be called a bridle.
Use of the bridle
Precisely, one of the most general pieces of advice in these cases is to start by trying with a bridle, since it is very soft and easy to obtain. With the bridle, the pressure the horse receives is directly proportional to the pressure the rider exerts when pulling. If this option does not work, or if the animal is not very docile, then the next thing is to start testing increasingly resistant models.
It is important to remember that before venturing to buy a bridle we must measure the horse's mouth, especially if it is a very large or very small crossbreed and falls outside the dimensions considered normal, for which the extension is usually around 13 centimeters. Regarding the rings on the sides of the bridle, some are O -shaped, others look like a letter D and there are also models that can rotate in place; It is recommended to try them all until you find the most suitable one.
a type of horse
The bridle, on the other hand, is the horse that is already saddled to the bridle. In poetic language, the rebellious animal that behaves with vigor is also known as bridón.
In the Mexican National Anthem , which began to be sung in 1854 , we find this last meaning in one of the verses of its chorus:
«Mexicans, to the war cry
"the steel prepares and the bridle."
As can be seen, the meaning of this first part of the chorus is "prepare your weapons and horses ." The National Anthem of Mexico only came into official use in 1943 , when President Manuel Ávila Camacho issued a decree for this purpose.
